1. 1
   Select medium to small fresh mushrooms, wash them thoroughly under clean water, and pat dry with a clean cloth. Do this right before cooking. Trim the stems slightly and the mushrooms are ready to use.
   ▶ ≈1:17
2. 2
   Add garlic cloves, fresh coriander stems, and green chillies to a chopper and chop everything finely together.
   ▶ ≈1:45
3. 3
   Heat a tawa or pan and add butter and oil. Once melted, add the chopped garlic, coriander stems, and green chillies. Stir gently over medium heat for about 30 seconds until the raw taste of garlic fades.
   ▶ ≈2:12
4. 4
   Add the prepared mushrooms along with chilli flakes, freshly crushed black pepper, and salt. Mix everything together well. Cook over medium-high heat, allowing the mushrooms to release their natural moisture.
   ▶ ≈2:52
5. 5
   Continue cooking for about 7–8 minutes, allowing the mushroom moisture to evaporate completely. Once the liquid reduces, the mushrooms will develop a beautiful golden-brown colour. Maintain medium-high heat to ensure the mushrooms caramelize nicely.

6. 6
   Once the mushrooms turn golden brown, add the lemon zest. Use a microplane to grate only the yellow outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith.

7. 7
   Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mushrooms and stir gently. Finish with chopped fresh coriander and give everything a final mix.
